I was doing awesome...until Monday. My old friend TOM showed up. Generally, I am completely wiped out for two solid days. I just can't function and I crave carbs and sugar. The best way I can describe it is...it's a full moon and I'm a werewolf. My husband knows better than to deny any food or drink I have requested. He just sets it in front of me and backs away slowly. So...the fact that I didn't lose or gain any weight this week is making me really happy because there was coke, a quarter pounder and hostess cupcakes in my diet the last few days. During this time...I also stopped drinking as much water and taking my pills. I've got to find a cure for this. The good news is that I didn't feel as bad as I normally do. I think it's because of the exercise and eating better and the Vitamin D!

Question of the week!Share with us how you're feeling about your progress.

I am feeling great about my progress! I did a post on Monday of my 3 month Before and After picture and measurements. Click HERE to see it. My clothes are fitting better and I feel strong. Each day that I walk/run...I'm able to run just a little bit farther and I feel sooo good when I get home. The whole day goes so much better when I have taken this time to be my own best friend. Some of you have commented on that post and I want to tell you that I love you and your support means more than gold! So...I decided to draw a name from those that commented to win a Starbucks Gift Card! Lucky number 5 (thanks to the random number generator) is Jen from Harried Mom of Four! Thanks Jen!

Here is my Inspirational Song of the Week: I can run faster and longer when this song is playing! Seriously! I dare you to try NOT to run while that song is playing.

Isn't it weird how some songs come on and you just get energized? I haven't yet found my song like that, but I really haven't given the running much of a chance either! My friend visited me last week and I was insane! It's the first time since I've started WW. I can't even tell you how happy I was with my progress, considering! I love reading your motivating plans! It has definitely motivated me to make my own. Now I just have to stick to it. Looking forward to seeing the next before/after picture, because I bet you can tell a difference all the time!

Woo hoo! Starbucks! It must be Fate smiling on me, she knows how much I love coffee :)

Just so you know, the fact that your weight stayed the same with your friend is excellent - mine ALWAYS goes up 2 pounds (could it be the large bag of M&M's I ate almost single-handedly? Perhaps...) I never worry about it, it always goes away in a few days. Just goes to show that you can give yourself a 'free' day once a week or so (I heart free day!) and it won't do you too much harm. Have a GREAT day!

Girl, I know I am tired of staying the same...it stinks. But maybe with Tom's arrival and subsequent departure he will take some extra baggage with him!! I also love Lady GaGa, she rocks! Have you heard Lovegame? "I wanna take a ride on your disco stick" it cracks me up everytime I hear it!

My doctor swears by a Multi-vitamin called "Optivite", which is specifically designed for PMS. If I take it consistently throughout the month, I definitely have less emotional crap and less fatigue during "that" time of the month. You can buy it on Amazon, if you're interested. :)

I just found this blog. Love it! Music is powerful and actually can increase performance--this has been proven through numerous studies. Love that song too :) Keep up the great work and please stop by my blog and say hi.

I can totally relate to the TOM thing... I get a need for chocolate thing then that is CRAZY! And I completely agree about "taking the time to be your own best friend". It's so hard to fit in some days... but you gotta do it.
